Easy Fig Jam with Vanilla Bean – no pectin

August 24, 2020

Figs are in season from late summer through early fall, so if you happen upon them at the farmer’s market or the grocery store, get them while you can. This fig jam with vanilla is a delicious way to preserve fresh figs before they disappear. For another easy fig recipe, check out my puff pastry fig tarts.

This jam can also be used as a base for other add-ins – caramelized red onions or bacon for example to make it savory as well. 

Fig jam makes a terrific topping for crostini with a little fresh goat cheese or blue cheese crumbled on top for a quick appetizer or afternoon snack.
